Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of solar silicon wafer storage baskets, and in particular to an adjustable-size silicon wafer basket. Background Technology

[0002] As the cleanest renewable resource, solar energy is increasingly widely used. Solar cells use solar energy to generate electricity. Silicon solar cells are one type of solar cell. Based on the advantages of silicon being non-toxic, inexpensive, and abundant in the earth's crust, most commercially available solar cells are currently made of silicon wafers.

[0003] In the process of solar cell manufacturing, silicon wafers need to be placed in wafer baskets for cleaning. Adjacent wafers are separated by partitions to prevent them from sticking together during cleaning. However, the wafer baskets used to store the wafers are mostly custom-made. Different batches of wafers of different sizes require different types of wafer baskets for storage. Once one batch of wafers is produced, other batches of wafers of different sizes need to be stored in custom-made wafer baskets, resulting in resource waste. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the resource waste caused by the need to customize different baskets for silicon wafers of different sizes, this application provides an adjustable-size silicon wafer basket.

[0005] The adjustable-size silicon wafer basket provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An adjustable-size silicon wafer basket includes two main wafer basket bodies arranged parallel to each other. An adjustment assembly is provided between the two main wafer basket bodies, with one assembly located at each opposite end of the main wafer basket body. The adjustment assembly includes a mounting tube, a first rack, a second rack, a fixed bearing, a rotating rod, and a drive gear. The mounting tube is a hollow square tube. The fixed bearing is connected to the square tube and is symmetrically located on opposite sides of the square tube. A fixing shaft is provided on the square tube. The rotating rod passes through two fixed bearings and is connected to the mounting hole of the receiving connection. The driving gear is located inside the cavity of the square tube. One end of the first rack is connected to the silicon wafer basket body, and the other end is slidably inserted into the square tube. One end of the second rack is connected to the silicon wafer basket body, and the other end is slidably inserted into the square tube. Both the first rack and the second rack mesh with the driving gear and slide against the inner wall of the square tube. The first rack and the second rack are located on opposite sides of the driving gear. The rotating rod is also provided with a locking assembly for locking the rotating rod.

[0007] Preferably, the locking assembly includes a mounting cylinder, a cylinder cover, a first fixing plate, a spring, a second fixing plate, and a locking rod. The mounting cylinder is sleeved on the outside of the rotating rod, and a through hole is provided on the mounting cylinder for the rotating rod to pass through. The first fixing plate is bolted to the rotating rod and is located at the end of the rotating rod that passes through the mounting cylinder. The first fixing plate is a rectangular plate, and its sidewall slides against the inner wall of the mounting cylinder. The spring is sleeved on the rotating rod inside the mounting cylinder, with one end abutting against the bottom of the mounting cylinder and the other end abutting against the first fixing plate. The cylinder cover is connected to the opening of the mounting cylinder. The second fixing plate is fixedly connected to the sidewall of the mounting cylinder. The locking rod is fixedly connected to the second fixing plate. A locking hole is provided on the square tube for the locking rod to be inserted, and several locking holes are evenly arranged along the circumference of the rotating rod.

[0008] Preferably, a telescopic rod is connected between the two silicon wafer basket bodies, and the telescopic rod is arranged in a direction parallel to the mounting tube.

[0009] Preferably, the silicon wafer basket body is integrally formed with partitions, the partitions are arranged along the height direction of the silicon wafer basket body, and a plurality of partitions are evenly arranged along the length direction of the silicon wafer basket body, with a spacing between adjacent partitions for inserting silicon wafers.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the silicon wafer flower basket body is integrally formed with a base, and the top of the silicon wafer flower basket body and the base are arranged parallel to each other.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the silicon wafer basket body is provided with a slot, and there is one slot at each end of the silicon wafer basket body. A pad is integrally formed on the substrate, and there are two pads on the substrate corresponding to the slot.

[0012] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:

[0013] This utility model provides an adjustable silicon wafer basket. An adjustment component is set between two silicon wafer basket bodies. The adjustment component includes a mounting tube, a first rack, a second rack, a fixed bearing, a rotating rod, and a drive gear. When adjusting the distance between the two silicon wafer baskets, the rotating rod is rotated, which drives the drive gear to rotate. The drive gear drives the first rack and the second rack to move outward or inward from the mounting tube, thereby moving the two silicon wafer basket bodies closer or further apart. The rotating rod is also equipped with a locking component, which can lock the rotating rod to prevent it from rotating on its own and affecting the adjustment accuracy. This achieves the effect of improving the problem of resource waste caused by the need to customize different baskets for silicon wafers of different sizes. Attached Figure Description

A rotating rod 25 is inserted between two fixed bearings 24. A drive gear 26 is connected to the rotating rod 25 and is located inside the cavity of the square tube. One end of the first rack 22 is connected to the silicon wafer basket body 1, and the other end is slidably inserted into the square tube. One end of the second rack 23 is connected to the silicon wafer basket body 1, and the other end is slidably inserted into the square tube.

[0026] The implementation principle of an adjustable silicon wafer basket according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: When adjusting the distance between the two silicon wafer basket bodies 1, first pull the mounting cylinder 31 outward to disengage the locking rod 36 on the mounting cylinder 31 from the locking hole. Then, the rotating rod 25 can be rotated by rotating the mounting cylinder 31 to rotate the drive gear 26. The drive gear 26 drives the first rack 22 and the second rack 23 to move outward or inward of the mounting tube 21, so as to move the two silicon wafer basket bodies 1 away from or close to each other. When the appropriate position is reached, the mounting cylinder 31 is slowly released, and the spring 34 pushes the mounting cylinder 31 to drive the locking rod 36 to insert into the locking hole to fix the rotating rod 25.
